'''Ø''' ({{w|ø}}) is a vowel ([[bwym]]) and a letter ([[jixbuo]]) used in the [[Tanbeh-gie|Danish]], [[Log'uy-gie|Norwegian]] languages.


== LETTER O WITH STROKE ==
{{MLT Alphabet}}
In [[Modern Literal Taiwanese]], this letter may be used for the sound written in [[TMSS]] as an o with a backslash. For example, [[hør]] (good), [[øar]] (oyster), [[ørgiøo]] (jelly fig), and [[Ørtoaxlixaf]] (Australia) are all written with ø. To reduce the need for ø, "[[øe]]" is usually substituted with "oe".
 
==Computer Input==
*'''ø''' (Unicode U+00F8, HTML: <tt>&amp;oslash;</tt>, or <tt>&amp;#248;</tt>) and '''Ø''' (U+00D8, <tt>&amp;Oslash;</tt> <tt>&amp;#216;</tt>)
*In MS Word and EmEditor, the ø can be typed with the following keystroke: ^/o (Ctrl+Slash+o). This means hold Ctrl press Slash, release, then press o.
*In Mozilla Firefox with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/459 abcTajpu] plugin, one can input this by typing o, /, then Insert.
*On Microsoft Windows
**Alt-0248: hold Alt and press 0248 on the '''keypad'''
**using the "United States-International" keyboard setting, it can be typed by holding down the "Alt-Gr" (right Alt) key and pressing "L".
*It can be input on Mac by holding the "Option" key while pressing o (or O).
 
One disadvantage to using ø is that it is not included in the ASCII seven-bit character set. However, it is in the ISO 8859-1 eight-bit character set as hex number F8. In Unicode it is also F8 but in UTF-8, it is encoded as hex C3B8.
 
Ø is also not within the [http://ash.jp/code/cn/big5tbl.htm big5 code table]. However, the Greek letters are encoded in big5 (range 0xA344 to 0xA373); a Greek letter could be used instead.
 
==History in Written Taiwanese==
[[Taiwanese Modern Spelling System]] originally prescribed two special characters: the Greek letter [[wikt:Ν|Ν]] (nu) and an o crossed by a backslash. In [[MLT|Modern Literal Taiwanese]], ø came into use.
 
In some cases it is convenient to use [[Q]] in place of [[ø]]. Usually the Q is made smaller font size. However, "html small" formatting makes the word incompatible with [[FireDictionary]].
 
==Other uses==
The "Ø" (minuscule: "ø") is a vowel and a letter used in the Danish, Faeroese and Norwegian languages.
 
Ø is a piece of land in the valley of the Nørreå in the eastern part of Jutland, Denmark. Its name means island (ø in Danish language; [[tøfsu]] in Taigie) and probably comes from the island-like approach to this piece of land, although it is completely landlocked and surrounded by meadows.
